"Why?" Han Sen was surprised, and it seemed as if Baby Ghost knew something.
Baby Ghost said, "You don't need to know why. All you need to know is that you're going to die. Give me the relic, and tell me your last wishes. Don't even think about asking for anything else."
"Is it because Immortal Emperor wants to sacrifice all the creatures in God's Sanctuary to revive the Sky Tree?" Han Sen asked Baby Ghost coldly.
Baby Ghost looked at Han Sen in shock, and he asked, "How did you know that?"
Han Sen didn't answer Baby Ghost's question. Instead, he asked, "It doesn't matter how I know. What makes you so sure you and Qing Jun won't be sacrificed?"
Baby Ghost was shocked that Han Sen knew about the Sky Tree, and he said, "Of course. Qing Jun is Immortal Emperor's daughter, and I'm the one who helped him carry out this plan. I won't be sacrificed."
"So, did you use lifewater?" Han Sen continued to ask.
"What does that have to do with lifewater?" Baby Ghost's face changed, as if he had thought of something.
"Any creature that consumes lifewater will be sacrificed. No one will be able to escape." Seeing Baby Ghost's expression, Han Sen knew he must have used the lifewater.
Baby Ghost's face darkened. "Impossible … Impossible … Qing Jun used the Water of Life as well … Where did you hear this from? It's impossible …" "That's impossible …" Baby Ghost's eyes widened.
"Did Immortal Emperor tell you how he was going to sacrifice those creatures?" Han Sen didn't explain, so he asked a question instead.
Baby Ghost opened his mouth to say something, but a thought suddenly occurred to him. His face turned green, and he said, "D * mn it! Was I really tricked?"
After that, Baby Ghost turned to leave, but Han Sen stopped him.
"If you go to Immortal Emperor now, you won't be able to return. Tell me, what is the connection between Han Jingzhi and Blood Legion?" Han Sen asked.
Baby Ghost took a deep breath and said, "I don't believe you yet, but there is something I need to confirm. I'll come back to you after I confirm it."
"Don't. Just tell me now." Han Sen was worried Baby Ghost wouldn't come back.
Baby Ghost did not hesitate, and he told Han Sen, "It's a long story, and I don't have the time to tell you. Something big happened in Blood Legion, and they needed people with special abilities. Han Jingzhi was kidnapped, but he didn't join them."
Han Sen was shocked. Han Jingzhi was related to Blood Legion, but he wasn't a high-ranking member. He was just a hostage.
Han Sen wanted to ask more, but Baby Ghost was too impatient to wait any longer. He disappeared from Han Sen's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Han Jingzhi was kidnapped? That means he was in Blood Legion for a while. He might know the whereabouts of the Nine-Life Cat, but why did Blood Legion kidnap him?
What happened to Blood Legion at that time?
Why do they need people with special abilities?
What is Han Jingzhi's talent?
Did this happen before or after he entered God's World? "Han Sen's mind was filled with more questions than ever.
Han Sen didn't want to think too much about it. He just hoped Baby Ghost wouldn't die, and that he'd be able to answer his questions.
Han Sen wasn't worried that Baby Ghost's actions would expose him. With Little Angel by his side, he was confident he'd be able to get out of the Sky Tree.
After a few days, someone finally came looking for him. It wasn't Baby Ghost, though; it was Qing Jun.
Han Sen was surprised to see her. Qing Jun stared at Han Sen for a while, then said, "You didn't use any lifewater?"
"No." Han Sen shook his head.
"Okay," Qing Jun said. She tossed something to Han Sen, turned around, and left.
Han Sen didn't know what Qing Jun was up to, and why would she just leave like that? Han Sen wanted to ask her something, but he didn't get the chance to do so.
It seemed as if Baby Ghost had told Qing Jun what had happened. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked.
Han Sen looked at the item in his hand. It was a small jade bottle that looked like it was made of jade. There was a note on the outside.
The note said, "Chupin's contract has been canceled." Han Sen was shocked. He had been wondering how he could save Chupin, but Qing Jun had already canceled the contract.
Han Sen was overjoyed, and he left the tunnel he was digging. He wanted to get Chupin out first.
Han Sen thought someone would stop him, but no one did. Han Sen's dongxuan aura couldn't detect any lifeforms nearby. The super creatures and the King Spirit were nowhere to be seen.
Han Sen reached the fourth floor, and when he found Chupin, he took him away from the Sky Tree.
When Han Sen brought Qiu Ping back to the underground shelter, he saw the walnut forest was withering. It was as if the life force was being sucked out of it.
"Oh, no! Baby Ghost must have done something to make King Heaven revive the Sky Tree," Dragon King said.
Han Sen frowned. He flew into the walnut forest and headed for the Sky Tree.
Not long after entering the walnut forest, Han Sen saw many creatures writhing on the ground. Their bodies were aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their lifeforces were leaving their bodies and drifting toward the Sky Tree.
Green sprouts emerged from their bodies, and they grew faster and faster. They became vines that pierced through the flesh of the creatures and absorbed their bones.
Seeing the bones of the creatures turn into fertilizer, Han Sen thought to himself, "It is just as Dragon King said. It doesn't matter if you are inside the Sky Tree or not. If you eat the walnuts and lifewater, you cannot escape the Sky Tree's absorption."
Han Sen sped up and flew in the direction of the Sky Tree. Before he reached it, he saw a scary presence coming from the Sky Tree. A black and red tree rose from the ground, and it was like a pillar that could hold up the sky. It grew so fast that it reached the clouds, and it was still growing.
The ground was littered with withered walnut trees and creatures that had been sucked dry by the vines. As the Sky Tree grew, the ground began to crack as if it had been sucked dry of nutrients. It was like the end of the world.
